RISCritical Review of Test Methods for Mechanical Characterization of Steel for Structural-Fire Engineering Applications
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Knowledge of elevated-temperature mechanical properties of structural steel is essential for accurate evaluation of structural behavior in a fire. As a result, various test procedures have been adopted to obtain the ...
Experimental Investigation of a Large-Scale Composite Riser Tube Under External Pressure
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A collapse pressure test was conducted on a full-scale diameter prototype composite offshore drilling riser. The test specimen was a carbon fiber-epoxy filament-wound tube, approximately 56.4 cm ...
Net Section Efficiency of Steel Coupons with Power Actuated Fasteners
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An experimental investigation was conducted to determine the effect of power actuated fasteners (PAFs) on the net section fracture strength of steel tension members. An extensive series of steel coupons were tested under ...
Nonprismatic Beam Element for Beams with RBS Connections in Steel Moment Frames
